What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Xiang Kun and Yang Zhuo chatted all night, and felt that the effect of the exchange was very good.

Whether it is "guiding" him, formulating training plans for his observation and reasoning skills, or explaining the ideas and operational ideas of "Youlong Xitu" for making videos, he can quickly accept and understand.

Of course, Yang Zhuo is definitely not as good as Tang Baona when it comes to the proficiency of video editing, the brains and ideas of making videos, and the grasp of audience preferences and hot spots of several major video websites.

However, according to Xiang Kun's cognitive model of Yang Zhuo, his learning ability is still good, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.

Yang Zhuo is also very interested in making videos and operating part-time jobs for "Youlong Xitu". The video of the gourmet show was recorded in the same kitchen, so I started to pay attention to the UP master "Youlong Xitu".

Now that he knew the relationship between Xiang Kun and "Youlong Xitu", he was naturally very interested in participating in the production.

Moreover, Xiang Kun also promised him a reward. Although he was a little embarrassed, he was quite looking forward to and happy in his heart. Girlfriend Xiao Min is not the kind of person who loves vanity, but usually eating together, going out to play, and occasional small gifts also cost a lot of money. Kidnapped".

...

When he left the coffee shop and went home, it was not yet eleven o'clock in the evening, Xiang Kun didn't take a taxi, but wandered slowly on the road.

After the latest blood-drinking mutation gained the new ability to directly perceive electric and magnetic fields, Xiang Kun used it frequently, trying to find a way to perceive other electric and magnetic fields besides the atmospheric electric field.

Although he can only have a vague perception of the trend, such as being able to vaguely perceive that a high-power electrical appliance is turned on and off in a certain direction in the room, he believes that as long as the speed of this perception is maintained, enough practice and guidance are carried out, and then through After a few blood-drinking periods and several mutations and evolutions, he can perceive the information he wants to perceive.

He didn't think about acting as a humanoid signal receiver, receiving all kinds of electromagnetic waves in the air that convey information.

Simply perceiving those electromagnetic waves is like peeking at a letter delivered by someone, but the words on the letter are written in a specific code, which he cannot understand and cannot understand the content information.

And if he needs to train and evolve the ability of demodulation and decoding, that is another big "subject", and it may take countless time and energy to achieve it. Even if it is done,

It doesn't make much sense either. Might as well equip Alice with the proper equipment and let her do the job.

But it is not meaningless to be able to perceive those signals. He can block and affect the transmission of certain signals in a targeted manner. In some cases, it may allow him to obtain a safer environment and a more convenient space for action.

Even after reaching a certain level, it may not be impossible to directly produce an EMP-like effect and paralyze all electronic equipment in a small area.

In other words, he doesn't need to intercept and interpret the letter sent by the messenger, he just needs to push the messenger and let him fall into the ditch. Or just seal the road, no matter if it is a courier or a courier, no one will let it pass.

Although the temperature is already very low and the cold wind is blowing, it is still difficult to be deserted late at night in the city. In the bustling section of the road, there are still many pedestrians, and even the barbecue stalls and food stalls on the roadside are still booming and very lively.

Xiang Kun walked slowly on the road, as if taking a walk, but the speed was getting slower and slower.

He faintly seemed to have found some feeling, as if there were countless dense thin threads extending from his body, connecting with the surroundings, connecting with some existences that they felt could get feedback, and then trembling slightly, as if there was no place Return a variety of information feedback.

The way he accepts feedback is his newly acquired perception ability after drinking blood this time. That sensory organ seems to be "integrated" in his brain nerves, which can closely affect thinking, and in turn be affected by thinking and consciousness.

It was like a problem that had been overcome for many days, and suddenly found a way to solve it. Xiang Kun's attention became more and more concentrated, so that even other sensory abilities began to be slowly eliminated and blocked.

Suddenly, he couldn't hear any sound, couldn't see any sight, couldn't smell any smell, and he lost his sense of touch, as if his consciousness had completely left his body and was wandering in the air.

But he didn't completely lose support, he still had a special perception, and his body became a part of this perception.

He is like a creature wandering in the water, using countless tentacles or tentacles to sense the surroundings.

At first, he seemed to be wandering in a whole deep sea, feeling the changes of the surrounding water. Then the whole ocean became rivers in which he could swim. Next, these rivers became lakes.

He discovered that the changes around him are closely related to his consciousness, but it is not based on his consciousness. Instead, when his consciousness changes, he can perceive different environmental states—all of those states exist in real time. , but he cannot perceive all states at the same time.

The brain was dizzy for a while, and Xiang Kun recovered from the "out-of-body" state, and his sensory abilities such as vision, hearing, smell, and touch were regained.

He noticed that he was standing firmly on the side of the road, and recalled that he had just lost his vision, hearing and many other perception abilities, and he walked to this position when his consciousness "came out of his body".

He didn't fall to the ground because of the brief "disconnect" between consciousness and body, and his body still maintained a normal state.

Xiang Kun glanced at the time, then recalled the last time he saw the phone, and then recalled and calculated the time spent walking on the road during this period. From this, he speculated that his short-lived "out of body" consciousness should not exceed One minute.

Judging from the perception of the surroundings, no one paid attention to him, no one stopped to look at him, and the customers at the food stalls and shops not far away did not cast their eyes on him. It can be seen that he himself did not show any obvious just now. abnormal phenomenon.

Xiang Kun continued to walk with a calm expression. Ten minutes later, he walked to a bench outside a lawn and sat down. He closed his eyes and prepared to try again to enter the special state of perception just now.

Just now he was concentrating on the perception of electric and magnetic fields, but suddenly he was deprived of sensory abilities such as vision and hearing, as if his consciousness and body were completely separated.

But he knows that his sensory ability has not been completely eliminated, and there is another sensory ability that supports his cognition—the electric field perception ability that he just acquired after this blood-drinking mutation.

So, in that state just now, what he felt was the change of electric field and magnetic field?

It is only because you want to enter the "strong perception" mode, which will conflict and interfere with sensory abilities such as hearing, smell, and vision, that you will temporarily exclude those senses, as if you suddenly lost the feeling and control of your body. Out of body?

As for the feeling of dizziness in the brain when we finally got out of that state, it should be that the brain can't bear the high-load operation, and it is self-protecting.

While thinking about it, Xiang Kun entered the special sensory mode that "closes" and "eliminates" other senses in the same way as before.

This time, in that special sensory state, Xiang Kun paid more attention to the details of the changes in the surrounding environment, keeping them in a fixed form.

He began to compare the cognitive model established by observing the surrounding environment through traditional sensory information and infrared thermal imaging before entering this special sensory state.

By comparing the two cognitive models, Xiang Kun can be sure that what he perceives after entering this special sensory state is still the surrounding environment. It's just that the surrounding environment is perceived in another special way.

Is it an electric field or a magnetic field? Electromagnetic waves?

He knew that any matter above absolute zero would radiate electromagnetic waves. Did he perceive it as a sensory world composed of various waves?

This time, Xiang Kun took the initiative to withdraw from that sensory state without waiting for his brain to become dizzy.

He continued to observe the surrounding environment. After more than ten minutes, he took out his mobile phone, switched to the video recording mode, and held it in his hand with the lens facing outwards. Then he closed his eyes and continued to enter that special sensory state.

After tens of seconds, after getting out of the special sensory state, he picked up the phone to stop recording, then started playback, listened carefully to the sound recorded by the phone, watched the video recorded by the phone, and then perceived with the special sensory state. environmental changes for comparison.

He realized that some of the environmental changes he perceived in that special state were actually the vibration and propagation of certain sounds in the air, and some changes were people or cars moving on the road.

After sitting on the bench outside the lawn for more than an hour, Xiang Kun repeatedly entered and exited that sensory state, perceived the same space around him, compared various changes, made statistics and summaries, and established two sensory states. The transformation of "cognitive mode".

Xiang Kun believes that even if the special sensory state cannot be compatible with the normal sensory ability for the time being, it will not take long, with his brain thinking ability, he can basically summarize some rules. After entering the "special sensory state", he knows what he is What is perceived, knowing where you are "in".

Tomorrow is another blood-drinking period, so Xiang Kun didn't go home tonight, but kept changing the environment and practicing the "special sensory state", hoping that through enough guidance training, after this blood-drinking period, the This sensory ability has brought about a certain degree of mutant evolution.

Of course, the current Xiang Kun will no longer be photographed with strange behavior by street surveillance after he just mutated. With the help of infrared thermal imaging visual mode and other sensory modes, he can always identify the surveillance equipment from a distance. Where, and to effectively evade.

At four o'clock in the morning, after Xiang Kun entered the "special sensory state" again, he suddenly found that he had established contact with several distant beings, so his consciousness moved, as if he was riding a fast rail car, and passed A channel, put into the place where the distant connection is.

In an instant, Xiang Kun realized what had established a connection with him - what he perceived now was the wooden rabbit sculpture that was still in the Qinling no-man's land and was transported out by people suspected of "Shenxing Technology".

He found that he could perceive the surrounding conditions. The wood carving should be encapsulated by something, but his perception was not blocked by this, and it could still extend to a distance of more than ten or twenty meters.

From the subtle changes in the surrounding environment, he counted at least seventeen people, and there were a lot of electronic equipment, but before he could get more information, he exited the special sensory state amidst the dizziness of the brain.

Xiang Kun, who had returned to his normal sensory state again, although his head was still dizzy, couldn't help but clenched his fist and waved it, very excited.

The brief perception just now made him confirm the idea that he had always wanted to have, to expand his perception through various items that establish connections, and it finally came true!

Although he can't see any picture, hear any sound, smell any taste, and have no actual touch, but this special sensory state and special perceptual information can still let him know a lot of what he wants to know information!

He even believes that with the passage of time, he can even "decode" sounds and images from special sensory states and subtle changes in the surrounding environment.

Xiang Kun knew that he seemed to have thrown himself into the distance and possessed the rabbit wood carving just now, and it was not true that he had "spirit out of his body".

According to the relationship between Liu Shiling and Little Apple and those items that have established special connections after the lightning storm was triggered last time, Xiang Kun knows that this perceptual state of establishing a connection is the energy of some kind of space-crossing between him and those items the result of the exchange.

In that special sensory state, his perception of the surrounding things is also through that kind of energy, which is like his countless tentacles, extending and perceiving the surroundings.

However, this perception range is not unlimited. If he does not borrow those items that have established a special connection, his perception range is about 50 to 60 meters.

If you just talk about the observation of the surrounding environment, it is not necessarily much better than his comprehensive judgment through vision, smell, hearing and other senses.

But using it with those items that have established a special connection is equivalent to expanding his perception range infinitely, and he can spy on a lot of information that cannot be obtained with normal senses.

Xiang Kun didn't return home until after sunrise.

This evening's targeted training, even he felt a lot of exhaustion. This exhaustion was not physical, but mental. Frequently let the brain enter the limit, produce self-protection, and sometimes even cause him to experience stagnation of response and a feeling of brain shutdown in a normal sensory state.

During the expected time period, hunger came and Xiang Kun drank blood and fell asleep.

Saturday, January 11.

At 6:40 in the morning, Xiang Kun sat up from the bed.

After confirming that his deep sleep time was within the normal range, Xiang Kun immediately began to try to enter that "super sensory state" - this was his name for that special sensory state.

The speed of entering the state is much faster than a day ago, and it is easy to find the channel to sense the items that create "emotional injection" and obtain the state information around it.

Xiang Kun successively perceived three "emotional injection" items, the rabbit wood carving in the no-man's land in Qinling Mountains, the little yellow man wood carving next to Little Apple, and the chopsticks around Liu Shiling, before exiting the "super sensory state" because of the dizziness that his brain could not support. ".

This time, Xiang Kun updated the number of suspected "Shenxing Technology" teams around it through the rabbit wood carving, from seventeen to twenty-three. Of course, the actual number may be more than twenty-three.

After Xiang Kun made some preparations and arrangements, he took "Golden Sparkle" and set off for the neighboring city after ten o'clock, planning to send the canary to Little Apple again.

As for himself, he was going to Qicheng City.

Of course he knew that Zhou Rui and Fang Pingfang were not in Qicheng City now, he just wanted to make some preparations in advance.

After discovering new abilities, Xiang Kun felt that some things had to be arranged in advance.
